A missense mutation in melanocortin 1 receptor is associated with the red coat colour in donkeys.

Animal genetics - 1 Dec 2014

Abitbol M, Legrand R, Tiret L

Abstract excerpt

The seven donkey breeds recognised by the French studbook are characterised by few coat colours: black, bay and grey. Normand bay donkeys seldom give birth to red foals, a colour more commonly seen and recognised in American miniature donkeys. Red resembles the equine chestnut colour, previously attributed to a mutation in the melanocortin 1 receptor gene (MC1R). We used a panel of 124 donkeys to identify a...
